Franklin County is Florida's 17th county, established on February 8, 1832, from a segment of Escambia County. It gains its name from Benjamin Franklin, a notable American of colonial times. Apalachicola is the county seat. Of historical interest, Dr. John Gorrie of Apalachicola built the first ice-making machine in 1845.
